collectors
with dealers and with buy-and-sell types."

Could not agree more. I am a collector. I have collected for 30 years, I
have only sold one item (a Contarex 400mm f5.6 20 years ago) which I have
regretted ever since. I started photography because I liked cameras, not
the other way round. It is my money and I can do what I like with it;-)
